I'm one of those dudes that bookmark everything i deem important, using a complex series of folders within folders by name association. I do this with pc files and internet pages. As a result I've bookmarked hundreds of shortcuts, which I depend on for my library of info, rather than browse all over the web each day. A week ago I installed IE=7, and didnt' take any precautions; trusting Microsoft to have their shi_t together, which they never do.
Now none of my shortcuts work. I uninstalled IE7, and they still don't work. Also my HP XP Home edition CD R writer is acting funny now, and won't let me copy the stored version of my favs folder on to a disk: A dialogue box keeps interrupting the 'copy to' function with a dialogue box that says "Sorry, Microsoft Internet Explorer has to close now, do you want to tell Microsoft (send a message) about this error?"
